For about a month, I've been using the sauna on a regular basis for it's potential benefits against cml.
In addition to reducing inflammation, acting as an exercise mimetic, and calming effects, sauna use has been well established to help the body remove toxins - which TKIs create.
I'd like to know if others out there practice this.
Also, if anyone uses milk thistle or something similar to further help the liver detox, please let me know. I'm looking into using this in conjunction with sauna to help keep my liver healthy and happy.
Some preliminary research does not appear to show inhibition to imatinib:

And this source states "...little information regarding interaction with cancer drugs..."
